    Holden Monaro Review, For Sale, Models, Specs & News in Australia

    FROM
    $40,810

    To be present for the return of the Holden Monaro in 2001 was like observing the return of a religious deity.

    The VT Commodore-based two-door coupe heralded absolute adulation and hysteria when it finally hit showrooms three years after its sensational appearance at the now-defunct Sydney Motor Show in 1998.

    Inspired by two-door versions of the HK and HT Kingswoods of the 1960s and ’70s, the third generation Monaro was built between 2001 and 2005, with left-hand drive versions of the facelifted two-door being sold as Pontiac GTOs in the United States, as well as the Chevrolet Lumina Coupe in the Middle East and South Africa. In its final rendition the Monaro only had one trim level the Monaro CV8 at $40,810.

    This vehicle is also known as The Holden Monaro is also known as Chevrolet Lumina, Chevrolet SS, Holden GTS, Holden Limited Edition, Pontiac GTO, Vauxhall Monaro in markets outside Australia..

    Holden Monaro FAQs

    l have an electrical problem with my 1970 Holden Monaro

    It sounds like there’s some kind of problem with the way you have the wiring loom hooked up. One wire in the wrong spot can cause all sorts of mayhem, even in an older car like yours with its relatively wimple wiring. Grab a circuit diagram and try to find out which wire is connected to the wrong terminal.

    The other possibility is that the actual light switch has failed internally, allowing the wrong wires to contact each other, or causing them to fail to connect altogether. If you can’t figure it out, it should be a fairly simple and quick fix for an auto electrician to sort.

    Local model Monaro vs foreign variants

    If only we had a crystal ball. Unfortunately it's impossible to say with any certainty if the foreign variants of the Monaro will become classics. If any do I would guess it would be the Pontiac with its connections to the GTO, Vauxhall's image in Australia is one of a cardigan wearing, pipe-puffing old timer, and the Chevrolet Lumina doesn't get the pulse racing.
